Anke Burkhardt and Harald Schomburg took stock of the results of nearly 200 tracer studies which were carried out in the 1990s in Germany. The study served as a basis for a recommendation of the German Science Council on the relationship between higher education and work which was prepared in 1999.

From the results of their survey, they found that about one-fifth of the German universities - have recently conducted surveys of their graduates mostly from selected fields of study.
